This service must be recovery-based, non-clinical, 24-hour, and in a community setting. The mental health pathway is reliant on step up / step down accommodation. This supports patient flow and reduces high cost spend on length of stay; and provides lower cost and effective admission avoidance provision. BSW CCG are of the view that this resource is an integral part of the crisis care pathway, achieving admission avoidance and expediting step-down from mental health inpatient and Acute. Step up / step down accommodation improves the quality of life through interventions provided at point of need - by remaining in a community setting, people maintain their daily living skills and have access to their social networks, whilst having time in a supportive environment with highly skilled staff.
